UFC Champions: By The Numbers

By: Mike Fridley and Brian KnappDec 31, 2013

Georges St.
Pierre’s decision to vacate his throne at 170 pounds leaves
Jose
Aldo as the longest-reigning titleholder in the Ultimate
Fighting Championship.

Aldo has held the featherweight championship for a staggering 1,141
days, successfully defending it on five different occasions with
wins over Mark
Hominick, Kenny
Florian, Chad Mendes,
Frankie
Edgar and Chan Sung
Jung. Universally regarded as one of MMA’s top pound-for-pound
fighters, the 27-year-old Nova Uniao standout has recorded 16
consecutive victories. He last appeared at UFC 163 in August, when
he stopped Jung on fourth-round punches at the HSBC Arena in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil.

Aldo will defend his title against Ricardo
Lamas in the UFC 169 “Cruz vs. Barao” co-main event on Feb. 1
at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
